Rev. Sir and Gentlemen, 
With reference to the interview of the 11th ultimo between the 
Colonial Secretary and yourselves as a Deputation as appointed to 
urge the claim of the Royal Society of New South Wales to have 
its transactions printed at the Government Printing Office, [ am ° 
now directed to inform you that your application has been con- 
sidered, and that the Government, attaching much public value to 
the Society’s papers, will authorize compliance with your request. 
The Government Printer will however be instructed not greatly 
to exceed in bulk and cost the Society’s published “Transactions” 
of last year without express permission obtained on report to this 
office. 
2. I am to add that the Society can communicate direct with 
the Government Printer on receipt of this letter. 
I have, etc. 
(Signed) Henry Halloran.
